No! 😢 She was one of the first posters who really stood out to me when I started posting here; I still remember a thread where she explained the origins of her username. She will definitely be missed. ---

Are we likely to get an obit or some other word about her passing or services or final disposition? Is someone here a close enough friend who could summarize with proper anonymization? She was part of the community.
